IMPROVEMENT IN PACKING AND CARRYING DEVICES FOR PAPER-FOLDING MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 141,501, dated August 5, 1873; application filed May 7, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I WASHINGTON FARRING- TON, of the city of Brooklyn, in the State of New York, have invented an Improved Packing and Carrying Device for Paper-Folding Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and correct description of the same, reference being had to the accom pan ying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective View of my device applied to a V-shaped packing box or trough. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same device applied to a flat-bottomed packing box or trough.

Corresponding parts are marked by corresponding letters of reference in both figures.

My improvement consists in providing the packing-trough of a paper-folding machine with a removable false bottom or tray for the purpose of enabling the sheets to be lifted out of the trough on this tray without handling, thus leaving the paper in a better condition for forwarding or storing than it would be if removed by hand in the ordinary way.

In the drawing, A marks the packin g-trough and B the false bottom. The ends of the long slats of the false bottom enter recesses 64 a a in the permanent bottom of the trough, as shown in the drawings, for the purpose of breaking joint, so that the sheets will readily pass onto the false bottom without catching. The ends of the trough are rounded out, as at 0, Fig. 1, to allow room for the hand to take hold of the tray in lifting it out.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In combination with the packing-trough of a paper-folding machine, a removable slatted tray or false bottom, made substantially as described, for the purpose specified.

The above specification of my said invention signed and witnessed at New York this 26th day of February, A. D. 1873.
